Teacher Grant Applications Due

Each year The Somerville Mathematics Fund awards grants for teachers in Somerville MA who have great ideas for math activities in their classroom, for after school activities, or at a family math night.  The grants are for materials and are for up to $500 each.  Teachers who have won before are eligible to apply again as long as they have completed the follow-up paperwork for their previous grant.

The deadline is coming soon, 14 January 2013.  So, I you have a great idea but don't have the money for materials in your classroom, go to our website and download the application.
